We left on a Friday, which was generally against our rule of not boating during weekends. Our intended destination was Fernandina Beach, but of course, there was not room at the inn – no marina space, no mooring balls, and no room in the anchorages. It was the annual shrimp festival. So instead, we made way to St. Mary’s, Georgia. Along the way, we passed 2 trawlers hard aground in Sisters Creek (first pic), and 3 sailboats and a barge aground in the Amelia river(next pic). Later, we found out that it was supermoon Saturday (next pic), when the moon is closest to the earth and causes extreme high and low tides. But we spent that Saturday on Cumberland Island, where the Carnegie’s had acquired the island in the late 1800’s. The next pic shows a ranger walking up the majestic tree lined roads of the island. Wild horses roam the national park (next pic). Since this island is a national park, and it is only accessible by boat, the number of people visiting that park is limited. The final pic is one of the beach, with just a few people on it. Compare it with the one of Cocoa Beach that was taken on a Saturday, just one week ago!!
